Hello,

i am working with iNMR (version 4.2.1) for a long time but miss a
option to superscript numbers in the note editor. is it possible to
integrate such a button in the editor? I mean it´s nice to write down
a Solvent or chemical formula and the editor automatically subscript
all numbers, but when i want define rests in a molecule subscript is
formal wrong and i don´t have any chance to fix it within the program.
Now i tried the new 5 (4.9.6) and must say it works greet. the editor
is the same and so there is no change to superscript numbers.
perhaps my personal wish is something others would like prefer too.

best regards

Hello Pasqual,
may you please explain what could be really useful:

1) Adding numerical superscripts to a simple ASCII note;
2) Adding any kind of superscript to any kind of note;
3) Using different styles/fonts/dimensions inside the same note.

There's a lot of difference among these 3 possibilities. 1) is more
easy to achieve, maybe it's already possible 3) is more difficult.

Hello Guiseppe,

thank you for the fast answer. By reading your explanation i think it
is option 3, that fits best but
i will try to explain what could be useful with a simple example:

i´ve got overlaid two or more spectra and added a chemical structure
to explain what kind of molecule i want to describe.
now opening the text editor...

1H (1 is superscript) and CDCl3 (3 is subscript)

this works fine and is correct formatted.

but when you type: "R4 = CH3" the editor subscript 4 and 3 but the
number 4 has to be superscript. subscript number 4 indicates 4*CH3 and
not "Rest number four".
by typing it this way: "4R = CH3" the number 4 is superscript and the
number 3 is subscript. In this case the number 4 is left to R and this
is formal wrong (it need to be on the right side)

If this is all that you need, I think that an editor for style is
overkill. It could potentially slow down the program, it will be
difficult to test and you have to wait for version 5 (at the very
least).
What about defining our own syntax? I have this idea, tell me if I am
wrong.
We can use the dollar sign $ to insert directive to the program. The
directive is made by a number, which tells how many characters are
affected, and a symbol that says if there is a superscript, a
subscript or plain text. We can use the symbols + - and =
respectivelly. In your case, for example:

R$1+4 CH3

will write R4 CH3 with 4 as superscript and 3 as subscript.
